We go on a “WOW” journey with Mirabai Starr, who says she lives for beauty. The #Sacred #Feminine and the wisdom of the #mystics across the spiritual traditions infuse my life with clarity and meaning. In her book, #OrdinaryMysticism, she outlines what it means to bring spirit into your daily routine. Simple can be profound. She’s right — sometimes humanity overthinks things rather than sitting with YOU and just BEING.
We also talk about #Grief and its transformational power when we don’t fight it. We go into interesting directions with this counter-culture teacher, born to secular Jewish parents who rejected the patriarchy of institutionalized religion. Her family uprooted from their suburban life and embarked on an extended road trip that led them through the jungles of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where they lived for many months on an isolated Caribbean beach, and ended in the mountains of #Taos, New Mexico. This is a video you’ll want to watch again and again.
She says that she lives for beauty, and am especially passionate about the beauty of language. Writing fills her cup; so does reading literary fiction and poetry. The Sacred Feminine and the wisdom of the mystics across the spiritual traditions infuse her life with clarity and meaning. She is the author of Ordinary Mysticism which we chat about in the interview. See interview with Mirabai Starr.
